Maybe I deleted it by > accident. This is similar to the problem of clients using POST to implement an "import" of entries from another system, and the server rewriting the ids. We don't say anything about the effects of atom:id in a posted entry. I expect that some client implementors will be surprised when implementations change the atom:id, as some servers will; especially when this is obviously in violation of the atom syntax id rules. -- Dave
